Flow-Batterie-Energiespeichertechnologie und Anwendungsforschung

Die Batterie kann so ohne Leistungs- und Kapazitätsverlust eine beliebige Anzahl von Ladezyklen durchlaufen. Nach 20 Jahren Vollnutzung einer Vanadium Redox-Flow-Batterie ist ihre ursprüngliche Kapazität noch zu 95% vorhanden. Unser STORAC Redox-Flow-Speicher läuft beispielsweise mindestens so lange wie eine Solaranlage.

What is a flow battery?

Flow batteries have received increasing attention because of their ability to accelerate the utilization of renewable energy by resolving issues of discontinuity, instability and uncontrollability. Currently, widely studied flow batteries include traditional vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries as well as novel flow battery systems.

Are flow battery energy storage technologies promising for large-scale energy storage systems?

Based on this, flow battery energy storage technologies, possessing characteristics such as environmental benignity as well as independently tunable power and energy, are promising for large-scale energy storage systems .

Why is flow battery research important?

Overall, the research of flow batteries should focus on improvements in power and energy density along with cost reductions. In addition, because the design and development of flow battery stacks are vital for industrialization, the structural design and optimization of key materials and stacks of flow batteries are also important.

Are flow batteries a good option for long-term energy storage?

Designing Better Flow Batteries: An Overview on Fifty Years’ Research Flow batteries (FBs) are very promising options for long duration energy storage (LDES) due to their attractive features of the decoupled energy and power rating, scalability, and long lifetime.

What's new in flow batteries?

Recent research and development in flow batteries is summarised. The importance of fluid flow and mass transfer is highlighted. Studies in small cells with poorly defined flow conditions are considered critically. Modelling approaches are discussed, stressing the need for experimental validation.

How can MIT help develop flow batteries?

A modeling framework developed at MIT can help speed the development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration electricity storage on the future grid.
